THE REALITY OF MUSLIM TERRORISM - About 30 children were taken hostage by Hamas militants. Their families wait in agony

THERE IS NO GREATER THREAT TO CIVILIZATION THAN ISLAM! PAUSE AND LOOK AROUND YOU!

THERE'S NO BIGGER TERRORIST IN THE WORLD THAN JOE BIDEN!

OBAMA’S WAR ON THE JEWS

Abunimah’s piece -- and Obama’s numerous anti-Semitic associations -- got little attention. Throughout his life Barack Obama has been close friends with numerous virulent anti-Semites: Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Khalid al-Mansour, Rashid Khalidi and others.  PAMELA GELLER

‘I Will Kill you, Jew’: 9-Year-Old Boy Threatened with Knife in Brooklyn Playground

A Jewish 9-year-old boy was allegedly threatened with a knife as the suspected shouted “I will kill you, Jew,” in what is the latest antisemitic incident in New York City, according to the New York Post.

The Post reports:

The sickening scene unfolded at a playground at KIPP AMP Middle School and MS 354 Monday evening in Crown Heights, according to the NYPD and the victim’s mother, who said her daughter was also targeted in the attack.

[…]

Police and sources said the man also screamed “Heil Hitler” at the boy, but Sundroy, who was at the park with her six children, said that was actually directed at her daughter.

During the attack, several people also shouted “Allahu Akbar” in front of the children, according to Sundroy and police sources.

Police are searching for one suspect and investigating the case as a “possible biased incident.” No arrests have been made at this time.

The incident comes as Crown Heights–a Brooklyn neighborhood with a significant Hasidic Jewish population and the location of Chabad-Lubavitch’s headquarters–is bracing for a pro-Palestinian protest in the area on Saturday, which falls on Shabbat (the Jewish day of rest).

“Jews should definitely avoid the area,” a source warned COLlive. “There’s no intel at this time in which direction the protest will head. Locals should definitely stay away from Eastern Parkway in that area.”

The protest–“Flood Brooklyn For Gaza”–is slated for 3:00 PM at the Brooklyn Museum in Crown Heights. The event will be held in support of Gaza in the wake of Hamas’s shocking terror attack on Israel, which left 1,300 dead. Additionally, over 100 Israelis were also kidnapped to Gaza — including women, children, and the elderly.

Chabad on Campus is holding an event in Crown Heights on Saturday, as well.

Police are reportedly beefing up security in the area over the weekend.

“We are aware of plans to hold a demonstration in front of the Brooklyn Museum on Shabbos at 3 p.m.,” Rabbi Yaacov Behrman of Jewish Future Alliance told COLlive.

Last week, a man was suspected of punching a woman in the face in a Manhattan subway station, declaring “You are Jewish” as the reason for the attack, according to law enforcement, the Post said.

Prof. Makes Death Threats to Jewish Journalists and Their Children

And remains on faculty.

Jemma Decristo is an assistant professor at UC Davis, who has called for violence against “Zionist” journalists and their children — it appears she means not just Israeli citizens, but Jews everywhere who support Israel as well. More on her grotesque threats can be found here: “US Professor Remains on University Staff After Tweet Threatening Jewish Journalists, Their Children,” by Dion J. Pierre, Algemeiner, October 20, 2023:

The University of California (UC) Davis has kept a professor on staff after she appeared to call for violence against Jewish journalists and their children following the Hamas terror group’s massacre of over 1,400 people in Israel, mostly civilians, earlier this month.

Jemma Decristo, an assistant professor in American studies at UC Davis, made the apparent threat on X/Twitter on Oct. 10, three days after Hamas invaded Israel.

One group of ppl [sic] we have easy access to in the US is all these Zionist journalists who spread propaganda & misinformation,” Decristo wrote. “They have houses [with] addresses, kids in school. They can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.” The message was followed by images of a knife, an axe, and three blood-drop emojis.

Her threat is unmistakable, and unnerving. It is this: “We who support the Palestinians know where the Zionist journalists live, we know where their kids go to school. They can’t hide from us, and should be very very worried.” And then her message of violence ends with images of a knife, an axe, and drops of blood.

UC Davis Chancellor Gary May disavowed Decristo’s comments in a statement issued on Thursday.

“I absolutely condemn the posts attributed to a UC Davis faculty member that recently appeared on the social media platform X. I find the comments revolting in every way, and I disagree wholeheartedly with them,” May said. “UC Davis rejects all forms of violence and discrimination, as they are antithetical to the values of our university. We strive to foster a climate of equity and justice built on mutual understanding and respect for all members of the community.”

May noted, however, that the professor remains on staff as the university investigates the matter.

“We can confirm that the provost will refer this matter to the appropriate campus departments that investigate harassment, discrimination, and faculty conduct, in consultation with legal counsel regarding First Amendment rights,” he said. “Some have asked why this faculty member continues to be employed at UC Davis. The University of California system has specific procedures for the review of complaints of faculty misconduct consistent with university-wide policies and bylaws. The status of complaints lodged against faculty members are confidential personnel matters, so we are unable to publicly comment on the steps we are taking.”

Decristo does not have tenure. She could be terminated for cause without much ado. What cause? Making antisemitic death threats in the wake of the mass-murder of Jews in Israel should be more than enough to qualify as “faculty misconduct.” After all, if Decristo had made death threats, instead, to “black journalists” or to “Muslim journalists” or to “LGBTQ journalists,” does anyone think she would still be on campus, still have her job? But when it is “Zionist journalists” who are being threatened, the UC Davis administrators think that she should remain in her job, not even placed on administrative leave, until — now comes the bureaucratese — there can be a “review of complaints of faculty misconduct consistent with university-wide policies and bylaws.” How long will that take, while Assistant Professor Decristo continues to teach, continues to receive a salary provided by the taxpayers of California, continues to poison the minds of her students in American history with offhand remarks about the “colonial-settler apartheid state of Israel” and the power of Jews in the media?

Decristo, who describes herself as a “black anarchist” on X, has made her posts available only to “approved followers” following the backlash she received.

Still, Decristo hasn’t been fired, hasn’t been reprimanded, hasn’t been put on unpaid or even paid leave. And there is a strong possibility that the administrators at UC Davis, after conducting their own investigation, will pusillanimously decide that she was merely expressing an opinion and should not lose her job. They will claim, in other words, that the voicing of death threats by Decristo, and her unsubtle encouragement of others to carry out such threats, against “Jewish journalists,” do not constitute a “hate crime.” But perhaps UC Davis will do the right thing, and fire Decristo. Her continued presence on the campus creates an atmosphere of fear for Jewish students. Besides, she can always find a teaching job at Birzeit or Al-Quds universities.

About 30 children were taken hostage by Hamas militants. Their families wait in agony

LONDON (AP) — Abigail Edan is just 3 years old, yet when Hamas militants stormed her kibbutz, Kfar Azza, on Oct. 7 and killed her parents, she knew enough to run to a neighbor's for shelter.

The Brodutch family — mother Hagar and her three children — took Abigail in as the rampage raged. Then all five disappeared, later confirmed by the government to be captives of Hamas, both families said, some of more than 200 people dragged to Gaza on Israel's bloodiest day.

The waking nightmare has plunged the families of the captives into a foggy limbo distinct from grieving, even as tight-knit Israel mourns the more than 1,400 people killed by militants. The families of an estimated 30 children taken hostage from Israel describe a more exquisite agony, one of being haunted by the knowledge that their captive loved ones are defenseless.

“She’s a baby, just 3 years old, and she’s all alone,” said Abigail’s aunt, Tal Edan, in a telephone interview, her voice quivering. “Maybe she was with a neighbor, but I don't know if they're still together. She has no one.”

Children in both Israel and Gaza have taken an outsized share of the toll from the Hamas massacre and the intensifying Israeli bombardment of the tiny enclave, a gutting undercurrent among the tragedies.

Nearly half of Gaza's 2.3 million people are children. The Hamas-run Health Ministry reported Thursday that the total death toll has soared past 7,000 Palestinians, including 2,913 minors. More than 800 children in Gaza remain missing.

Taking civilians hostage is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.

But taking children hostage in a war is almost never done, said Danielle Gilbert, assistant professor of political science at Northwestern University, who has interviewed hundreds of captors and hostages in different countries. The reasoning is brutal: Abductors see value in live hostages, typically men ages 18 to 65. Children are less likely to survive the ordeal.

“Holding onto someone vulnerable and not predisposed to surviving in those conditions will make the kidnappers' job more difficult,” Gilbert said. “It remains to be seen whether Hamas intended to take this wide a range of hostages.”

The families of the Israeli children being held describe lurching along a spectrum of emotions, from hope to despair and anger, with sleep elusive and distraction from worst-case thoughts welcome. Many are spending the time speaking to the media in a frantic drive for information, proof of life, and their loved ones' return.

Roy and Smadar Edan were buried Oct. 20, which began the traditional, seven-day Jewish mourning period. But there’s no precise ritual for children who are held hostage in war. So the Edans did their best to keep Abigail present.

“She comes into my dreams,” said Tal, who is married to Roy’s brother, Amit. “She comes into every conversation we’re having here. Everyone keeps asking about her how was her night was, if there is anyone holding her. Because she is all alone.”

Maayan Zin is spending the interminable time without information on her missing daughters, Ella Elyakim, 8 and Dafna Elyakim, 15, spreading the word about them. On Oct. 7, they were visiting their father, Noam Elyakim, at Nahal Oz, a kibbutz near the Gaza border, where he lived with his partner, Dikla Arava, and her son, Tomer, 17.

Video she viewed later appeared to show all five seated under duress, Dafna weeping and Noam bleeding from his leg, while militants make demands. Then she saw photos of the girls seated on mattresses in pajamas that weren't their own. Two fingers on Ella's hand appeared bandaged.

The bodies of Noam, Dikla and Tomer were later found near the border with Gaza, according to local media.

Now, Maayan says in interviews that she worries that the girls saw their father murdered. She tries not to think about who changed her daughters into other clothes. She wonders: What happened to Ella's hand, and how is Dafna, who is old enough to understand what's happening?

Maayan was happy to hear that four hostages had been released, and hoped that her daughters will be next. She hasn't been sleeping well.

“I'm thinking that I hope that they won’t return them to me in a coffin,” Maayan Zin said in a Zoom interview. “It’s a rollercoaster of feelings.”

Some families who spent the first few weeks careful not to criticize the government publicly are losing patience.

“We’ve been abandoned by our government twice: On Oct. 7, and now, because our children are still there,” said Hadas Kalderon, whose son, Erez, turned 12 in captivity Thursday.

Avichai Brodutch, the bereft husband of Hagar, 40, and father of Ofri, 10, Yuval, 8 and Uriah, 4 who disappeared along with Abigail, pulled up a chair across the street from Israeli army headquarters at 3 a.m. one recent night and held up a sign. “My family,” it read, “is in Gaza.”

Hadas Kalderon, Erez's mother, says she has barely had a moment to grieve her own mother, Carmela, 80, and niece, Noya, 12, who were killed at Nir Oz. She's too busy campaigning for the release of the rest of her family: Erez, Sahar, 16, and Ofer, 53, the children's father.

She told reporters Thursday that a video exists showing them in captivity. At first she refused to watch it.

“And then I’m very very happy because it means that he’s alive,” she said. “And then I’m very happy they’ve been kidnapped, because the other choice was to be murdered. To save their life is to save my life.”

She says she finds herself moving along a sliding scale of emotions. Erez, she recalled, has long been afraid of being alone, fearing just such an event.

“Now it’s like his worst nightmare come true,” said Hadas said of the boy she says is “full of love.”

“I can hear him all the time,” she added. “I hear him crying and screaming to me, 'Mom, Mom, save me.”

VIDEO: Fitness Trainer ‘Proud’ to Tear Down Posters of Kidnapped Israeli Kids

A fitness trainer told a cameraman he was “proud” to tear down a poster of kidnapped Israeli children as he entered Gold’s Gym in Venice, California.

The incident occurred on Wednesday when a man TMZ Sports identifies as fitness trainer and model Zaid Shaat began tearing down posters of Israeli children being held captive by the terrorist organization Hamas. Shaat was confronted by a cameraman who challenged him to explain why he was crumpling the posters and if he was proud of himself for doing it.

“I am proud of myself,” Shaat replied. He then told the cameraman to “Get the f*ck away.”

On Shaat’s Instagram bio, which he has since made private, he describes himself as a “Lifetime Natural Athlete” whose mission is to “motivate people to live a healthy lifestyle. I am passionate about helping people achieve their goals and dreams.”

He is apparently uncaring or unaware of the irony of working out at Gold’s Gym – an iconic fitness brand begun by a Jewish bodybuilder named Joe Gold.

Israeli forces numbering over 300,000 are currently poised to launch an invasion of Gaza to destroy Hamas after the terrorist organization invaded Israel on October 7 and brutally murdered more than 1,400 Israelis.

Lawsuit: Biden’s DHS Withholding Details on Terror Suspects Caught Crossing Southern Border

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is withholding key details on terror suspects who have been apprehended at the United States-Mexico border in the last three years, a new lawsuit alleges.

This month, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) filed a lawsuit against Biden’s DHS after the organization filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for “records reflecting the nationalities and group affiliations of the record-breaking 270 illegal border-crossers who have flagged on the FBI terrorism watch since 2021.”

According to CIS officials, they sent a FOIA request for such records in August of this year but never heard back from DHS.

“CIS believed filing this suit was necessary for multiple reasons,” CIS’s Chief FOIA Counsel Colin Farnsworth told Todd Bensman. “There is a heightened public interest in the requested records, and there are indications [Customs and Border Patrol] is imposing unreasonable delays on the processing of those records.”

Indeed, since Biden took office, nearly 300 illegal aliens have been apprehended at the southern border who were matches on the federal government’s “Terrorist Watch List.” In an agency memo this month, DHS officials quietly admitted that the terrorism threat coming across the border is increasingly an issue for Americans’ national security.

The officials said they “expect continued high numbers of migrant encounters over the next year” and that “terrorists and criminal actors may exploit the elevated flow and increasingly complex security environment to enter the United States.”

White House: There Should Be Consideration of ‘Humanitarian Pauses’ in Israel-Hamas War

The White House on Thursday called for consideration of “humanitarian pauses” in the Israel-Hamas War, as Israel prepares its ground offensive against Hamas in response to the terrorist organization’s attacks on October 7 that killed more than 1,400.

“In a tactical sense, as Secretary Blinken said, we do think that there should be consideration made right now for humanitarian pauses,” National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said at a White House briefing.

“These are localized, temporary, specific pauses on the battlefield so that humanitarian assistance can get in to people that need it or the people can get out of that area in relative safety. That’s what a humanitarian pause is, and we think it’s an idea worth exploring,” he said.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised the prospect of a humanitarian pause during a meeting at the United Nations on Thursday.

President Joe Biden also on Thursday endorsed the idea of a so-called humanitarian pause.

He said Israeli outrage is “completely understandable” and that the U.S. would ensure Israel has what it needs to defend itself against terrorists, but said that Israel has to “do everything in its power” to “protect innocent civilians.”

He thanked Israel and Egypt for working with the U.S. to make sure food, water, and medical supplies were getting into Gaza, and said, “The flow needs to increase, and we’re working very hard with our partners to make that happen.”

Kirby on Thursday acknowledged a two-state solution was a “lofty goal,” but said Biden still believes that has to be the goal.

“We’re driving to a state for Palestinians if they can live in peace and security and justice. That is a strategic long-term goal,” he said.

The White House is pushing for a humanitarian pause the same time White House staff is holding “wellness meetings” for aides who disagree with support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza against Hamas.

The Department of State and the Department of Defense are taking measures to calm dissent, according to Politico.
